If you want thrillers, you want to read this book. It has plot twist after plot twist, a villain that will keep you guessing, and great characters.
Dead Fall is the second novel in the Quantico Files, and includes Kaley Quinn, the heroine of Mehl's previous trilogy. You can enjoy this novel without reading the first novel - Night Fall - or the Kaley Quinn Profiler series, but I would recommend reading those four books first. That might sound like a delay for this novel, but it's worth the wait.
I know some series, such as Mehl's Kaley Quinn Profiler, have the same lead character throughout the series, while others have some recurring characters but have different leads in each installment, with Mehl's Defenders Of Justice being in the category. With the name "The Quantico Files", I wasn't sure which category this would fall into. The answer is the former - the BAU (Behavioral Analysis Unit) features the same trio and the lead character in both is Alex Donovan.
I am a Nancy Mehl fan, and this is the 16th novel I've read. This is the best. This puts Mehl in a tie for 2nd place among novelists I've read the most books by with Donna Fletcher Crow. (Both are still seven shy of leader Agatha Christie.)
One of the strong points of this book is the faith angle in it. Heroine Alex Donavan is a recent convert to Christianity, and the other main characters are as well. However, there is no preachyness (is that a word?) in this book - the faith is organic to the characters and plot.
